I'm sitting behind an ISS6 proxy in a corporate network. I have
configured Firefox to use the proxy server. When I surf external sites
outside our network, Firefox stalls and downloads the pages very slowly.
It seems to affect all Gecko based browsers including Galeon. There is
no error reported in the logs. Starting Firefox from a terminal window
does not produce any errors. Running Firefox in debug mode, does not
produce any errors. Disabling all plugins does not work either.

Running Opera works fine and strangely also running the binary IceWeasel
1.5 from "www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/" works to.

Firefox 1.5 - Not working
Firefox 2.0.x - Not working
SeaMonkey 1.1.1 - Not Working
IceWeasel 1.5 (deb package) - Not working
IceWeasel 2.0.x (deb package) - Not Working
IceApe 1.x.x (deb package) - Not Working
Galeon 2.0.2 - Not working
Ice Weasel 1.5 (Binary package) - Working
Opera 9.10 - Working

I thought there might be some connection to a problem I have with
Rhythmbox when using the proxy. When Rhythmbox connects to the internet
and tries to download cover-art, it crashes. When a proxy is not
configured it runs fine.

I run a Dell Latitude D820, Core Duo T7600 (2,33 GHz, 4MB L2-cache, 667
MHz FSB), with a  256 MB NVIDIA®  Quadro NVS 110 M med TurboCache
graphic card.

Hope this information is enough.
